The Mexican drug cartel-aligned Biden-Harris administration was sort of hiding its grand strategy of infiltrating America with millions of illegal migrants while getting as many voting as possible by Nov. 5.
But Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Justice Department tipped us off.
The department’s progressive activists, from the same corrupt house that organized the persecution of former President Donald Trump and sued Alabama and then Virginia in federal court. The crime in the two states was to follow state and federal laws by removing noncitizens from voter rolls. The administration’s message to illegal migrants is clear: Register to vote, and we’ll make sure you do.
Hans von Spakovsky, The Heritage Foundation’s election law expert, tells me Mr. Garland’s legal stance is simply wrong. It’s not logical for Mr. Garland to imply that he can declare voting rights for noncitizens under one law when that same law and other federal laws explicitly say it is illegal for them to register and vote.
On Oct. 25, U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles ordered Virginia to stop removing some 1,500 designated noncitizens. Virginia immediately filed an appeal.
Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden have a lot invested. House Republican committee chairmen have taken testimony from Border Patrol officers. They said the vast majority of millions of invaders — potential voters — were trafficked by murderous drug cartels who are making billions of dollars in shakedown fees. More cash to send us more deadly fentanyl.
Democrats are filled with hoaxes and ironies. The odd twist in this adventure is that Mr. Garland is commanding states to violate other federal laws and their own state laws to abide by his interpretation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.
Virginia: The law is clear, according to its Department of Elections. “To register to vote in Virginia, you must be a United States citizen,” its website says.
That’s why Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin is having noncitizens removed from the voter rolls.
The federal laws:
In 1996, a prescient House speaker, Newt Gingrich, guided through the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. It’s as if Mr. Gingrich anticipated the day Democrats would open the southern border to millions of unknowns and then work to put them on voter rolls immediately. That day came Jan. 20, 2021.
Democratic President Bill Clinton signed the reform bill into law. This was nearly 30 years ago, when the Democratic Party was not dominated by “woke” progressives who worship ideology and money, not America.
The law states that “it shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election” for federal office. A violator can be fined and sent to prison for up to one year. And any alien [noncitizen] who votes illegally “is deportable.”
Heritage’s Mr. von Spakovsky told me that the National Voter Registration Act on which the administration relies does not bar states from removing noncitizen voters from the rolls.
Mr. von Spakovsky wrote in a Heritage memo: “The plain text of the statute does not require states to keep an individual registered who was never eligible to be registered in the first place. … Any interpretation of the NVRA that would require states to keep an alien registered to vote when both state and federal criminal laws bar an alien from registering would render the NVRA unconstitutional.”
Obey
